Chapter 4 - Give Me A Mirror
She glanced at the hand that was supposed to be hers but how did it turn out to be like this? The hand was fair, so fair that it was a shade lighter than what she remembered her skin tone to be.
She did not mind getting more fair and gorgeous, though.
Wait…That was not the main point here. The hand was so fat that she doubted it was almost equal to thrice her size.
"Miss Yu, why did you scream? Are you fine?" Steward Gu furrowed his brows as he looked at the girl glancing at her hand with disbelief written all over her face.
He wondered if she has lost her mind in the accident and become a retard.
"You...Who are you? Tell me, whose place is this, and why am I here?" She believed she would go insane if she did not sort this out. "How the heck has my hand gotten so fat? Answer me for god's sake," she yelled when there was no reply from the other side.
The man who seemed to be in his early thirties looked a bit confused as he looked at her behaving that way.
Just as he was contemplating, a sudden realization struck him, he glanced at the girl speechlessly for a few seconds before speaking up, "Miss Yu, you should stop pretending this way. Master already knows about everything you were intending to do. If you keep lying like this, you only further incur his wrath,"
The man did not seem to be sure if he should pity this girl or detest her.
She looked at him, completely flabbergasted, "Master? What kind of bird is that?" she was helpless, speechless and god knows what.
Here she had enough of queries revolving in her head yet a Master popped out from nowhere.
Steward Gu looked at the girl in horror. Was she even aware of what she was saying? He glanced around only to find the nurse standing dumbstruck by what she heard.
The man eyed her coldly to which she awkwardly pursed her lips indicating that she would not open her mouth about how the great-god was addressed by his wife.
Steward Gu sighed helplessly before looking back at the girl sitting on the bed. Did she know she was going overboard with her acting? She would be digging her own grave if someone accidentally leaked her words.
Han Mei, who was truly unaware of the tragic assumptions going on in the Steward's head got impatient, "Are you going to explain this situation? And what's up with this Miss Yu? Stop calling me that even if you don't know my real name…cough..." she was agitated and it was painful, every bone in her body seemed to be breaking apart, but she did not seem to care.
She thought they were assuming her as someone else. They must have not known her real name, which is why they seemed to be confused.
Although the explanation in her head felt somewhat strange, she did not mind it a bit. Rather than going crazy, she tried to console herself with it for the moment.
Steward Gu was stunned. Did she really not remember her name or was she just acting? Because if she was really acting, then she deserved to get the title of Queen of Entertainment Industry.
"Are you mute or what? Where is Jian Yu? Will you tell me?" She has rarely lost her calm even though she has a bad temper, she would never snap out at people without a proper reason.
But at this moment, she felt anxious, desolate, lost, angry, and overall complicated.
She still remembered that Han Jian Yu has been stroking her head trying to make her believe that everything will be alright.
But she denied it and thanked him for being the best brother that he was. She remembered everything.
But why did it turn out this way? What happened to her brother? Why was she lying in this strange kind of pink bedroom?
All the questions revolved around in her mind making her glare at Steward Gu who shivered for a moment.
Her deadly stare made him feel a sense of dread. It shocked him when he thought about it.
Since when did the brainless girl sitting in front of him could frighten him as such? Was he getting old or what?
Wait…"Miss Yu, who is this Jian Yu you are talking about?" The man asked.
She tucked her hair strands resting in front of her shoulder behind her ear but just as she opened her mouth to explain, her gaze landed on her hand, to be more precise, she looked at her 'fat hand'.
"I'm the one asking questions here, got it?" she narrowed her eyes as she looked at the man standing motionless. "Fine, don't speak…cough.."
Her throat was parched, it hurt whenever she uttered a single word but to hell with, she was not going to give a damn about it, "Get me a mirror," she commanded but the man stayed still without any intentions of moving and it got her more frustrated, "I said get me a mirror, right now…cough cough.." Her chest heaved up and down as she tried to calm down but it was all for naught.
Gu Chen's brows bumped together as he hurriedly tried to appease her, "I'll get right now. Miss Yu, please calm down."
"If you call me Miss Yu once again, then the consequences won't be good," Han Mei coldly said, refusing to accept the conjectures going through her mind as she watched the man walking towards the wall right in front of her bed.
He pressed a switch and a grand wardrobe appeared in front of her. A mirror whose length reached till the high ceiling slowly twisted around automatically. Time seemed to have frozen as the reflection of the girl sitting on the bed appeared on it.
Han Mei stared at the face which was supposed to be hers in utter shock.
"Not…Not me.."
